Sally and Mark Buffat set a goal to eliminate many household toxins from their Tenney-Lapham Neighborhood home in the spring of 1996 when their first child was yet a suckling babe. As Sally recalls, "We never gave the toxicity of all those household cleaning products, hiding under our kitchen and bathroom sinks behind childproof locks bearing ÔMr. YuckÕ stickers a momentÕs thought, nor did we consider the water pollution associated with their use. When a friend introduced me to Shaklee products, I was attracted to the idea of changing over to non-toxic, biodegradable household cleaners and laundry products that wouldnÕt add harsh chemicals to the air we breathe in our home, nor to the soil, streams and area lakes."

Their vision quickly expanded from a desire to make their home a safer place for their family to wanting the entire planet to be a safer environment for future generations! They became independent Shaklee distributors and started a home-based business called Household Health Associates. The BuffatÕs mission is to make a difference one household at a time by providing environmentally responsible alternatives to everyday products for the home and person. Their business encourages low impact and responsible consumption.

Super concentrated Shaklee formulas mean a super clean home, without the harmful effects of aerosols, toxic fumes and hazardous substances. And each of ShakleeÕs cleaners are Kosher certified, biodegradable and contain no phosphates, chlorine, borates, or nitrates. Another benefit of Shaklee products is the 100% unconditional guarantee, so you can try these products without risk.

When Basic-H Concentrated Organic Cleaner was introduced in 1960, it was the first "green" or environmentally safe household cleaning product on the market. Today, it still sets the standard for all others and is an outstanding example of cleaning excellence and economy. Gently yet powerful, highly concentrated Basic-H does hundreds of cleaning jobs from fruit/vegetable rinse solution to window cleaner to laundry pre-soak to hardwood, linoleum or ceramic floor cleaner, as well as counter top, appliance and car interior/exterior cleaner.This year Earth Day is on the Equinox, March 20, natureÕs day all over the world!
